  1. I'm with you all the way on that and maybe, just maybe, it leads to our beloved club kicking out Doink the Clown and his brother.
  2. If it is Correa, I wonder if he will just be a Lemsagam "yes man"? Stupid question, really. We all know the answer unless our esteemed leader has started to learn his lesson.
  3. They'd be the first two for contract renewals then. Soon to be followed by Maouche, Vera, Sylla et al. We'd only need a French goalkeeper. Actually, as he's Uruguayan, we'll probably end up with one or two from the South American lower divisions.
  4. I hope you don't seriously expect an honest answer to that lot. Excellent questions, but I'm sure AL would lie through his teeth to give you the answers you want to hear. Anyone who is prepared to accept responsibility as a Board member if it all goes tits up is naive at best, bonkers at worst and on a hiding to nothing. Respond to the email along the lines of "Up yours, Abdallah. You're having a laugh. Get the feck out of our club and I'd consider it then."
  5. He'd probably threaten them with physical violence if they overstepped the mark.
  6. Spot on and Jimmy McIlroy, who recently passed away, was player manager.
  7. When the re-arranged games come round, remember to edit your original post if team selection/scorer/attendance etc are likely to have changed. If you have already posted a prediction, that is the one that will count if you happen to post again. Dem's de rools.
  8. I would love it if that was flying round on live TV. Just love it! No apologies for pinching that from Keegan (Kevin, that is)
  9. Has anyone come up with an idea how to get the message across before out next match? I can't see the Tranmere game being shoehorned in on 26th March as the internationals will still interfere so, as far as I can see, it will have to be either 2nd or 16th April. The latter would mean we play Saturday, Tuesday, Friday, Monday, Saturday. That all points to our next game really being 30th March, which gives AL far too much time to rest on his laurels. Is it possibly to flood the club with emails expressing exactly our individual plans for the rest of this season and next? A protest march is still not a bad idea, even to an uninhabited BP to leave scarves, banners, flags or whatever provided the press and papers are alerted first, of course. Just ideas, but would they work?
  10. So, why are a fair number of them saying that they won't come back as long as AL is still here? Some have said that they have better things to do. Others are coming up with protest ideas. Nothing apathetic there or suggesting giving in. I have yet to read a post in any thread that even hints at accepting what's happened (although some are not too surprised), not have I read anywhere in any thread that there is an acceptance that everything is normal Are you saying that our fans only turn up because it's "something to do"? And those same fans don't care whether we win, lose or draw? What a bizarre opinion. In my opinion. I think you've looked at the odd thread, selectively picked out one or two comments and put some spin on that a politician would be proud of. Have another read of the threads that cover the Scholes/Lemsagam issue and you will find that we have a hard core of very pissed off fans who are: not going to BP again whilst AL is there refusing to renew season tickets thinking of ways of getting AL out of the club coming up with ideas for protests against AL & ML continuing to attend games because they still want to support their team Now, if that shows apathy, acceptance, a care less attitude about results or anything other caring deeply about the club they have supported for however many years, I just can't get my head round to your interpretation. We're all entitled to our opinions and decisions. And we're all entitled to have those opinions and decisions respected. Discuss them by all means, but don't try to twist them to suit a specific agenda.
  11. Lee Power did that at Swindon. It wasn't a clever move.
  12. If there was the third option of buying the ground AND getting rid of AL, it would be a no contest. For me, get rid of AL first, then think about buying the ground later.
  13. You may not have noticed that Bury and Accrington were off as well. Looks like maybe the North West was hit with some of that wet stuff. The Newport game is because 4 first team players are away on internationals. Maybe you would have preferred us to play with an intentionally weakened team. I give up.
  14. I'm saying it's less likely. It didn't take Scholes long to bring Hunt (irrespective of his ability) out of the wilderness and drop Branger to the bench. I couldn't see AL doing that, but I'm sure there was still interference in some way, even if not directly with team selection. FWIW, I don't believe all that is in AL's statement either.
  15. Would that surprise you? I don't blame him. We know what has happened to others who have gone against him. I don't blame him for that either. As a young family man, he'll need stability in his working life. I'm not sure anyone gets that under AL.
  16. Not sure about Vera, but I'll be amazed if Nepomuceno isn't at LB behind Branger. Yes, I think AL is that bloody pig headed and egotistical. I expect Sylla to start as well in place of Baxter. I hope I'm wrong.
  17. I wasn't sure which thread to put this in, but here goes. Below is a statement from AL, published by BBC news this morning. To me, it sounds like an arse covering exercise as I really can't imagine Scholes suddenly deciding that was that in such a fashion. AL may have been away, but has ML been interfering? There's no smoke without fire and I think it's reasonable for PS to publicly expand (slightly, if needs be) on his statement. I wish all of you well with whatever protest you go for, but I would exercise a little caution. Encroaching on the pitch or any activity which can be deemed illegal will only damage the club further. I fully support everyone who continues to attend or stays away. Personal choice and no one should be decried for it. Here's AL's statement: "I have been in Dubai over the last couple of weeks and was at ease knowing that he was in charge," he said. "I was very surprised as he simply resigned by text on Wednesday afternoon and has refused to discuss matters that influenced him to make his decision. "Paul and I both agreed that there is potential but I reassured him that he had my full backing to rebuild the team of his choice next season. "He did not raise any concerns at all about the team or any other matters informally or formally, prior to his resignation. He gave no opportunity or indications that he needed to address any issues at all."
  18. Not calling you out on this, but is that official?
  19. Sportsmanship v Dirty Leeds? Do you instruct your ball boys to chuck the ball the other way for opposition throw ins? Do your players roll about on the floor at the slightest touch until your opponent gets booked, then jump up and run around like a two year old? Are you in the 4th official's ear 'ole arguing about every throw in, corner, goal kick, tackle? Are you the Karl Robinson/Danny Cowley of the Prediction League? Asking for a friend.
  20. You may want to change the scorer unless we appeal the red card and get it overturned
  21. @lookersstandandy top scored in the Premier League with 11 points, which took him into 2nd place, but @Ex_pat still holds on to top spot. All but three players in the division predicted a Latics defeat and, remarkably, 11 of them predicted two opposition goals. The bottom four stay the same but only four points separate three of them. Pretty low scoring in the Championship, only 5 points being the best by @pjkent and @Runningman. There's no change in the bottom six as @Benja stays top. @youngen once again takes the second automatic promotion place from @yarddog73. Once again, @south east latic is the best in League 1 with 8 points. The bottom six and top six stay the same, but @Latics and England moves within one point of the play offs. As in the Championship, no attendance points were scored. Premier League Championship League 1
